98 All Star reporters interviewed Jordan and Kobe Bryant about what to say

Jordan: First of all, I didn't think it was a duel between two people, we just wanted to do our job and try to play as well as we could, not to be isolated from the other players on the pitch and in the need of the game, we might have one-on-one rounds, but I wouldn't care too much about that because I didn't want to ignore the other players on the court.

Jordan: yes, I've got to prove myself.

Kobe Bryant: I'm just enjoying the game, it's a good feeling, Jordan is a great player, the best front-end player in history, and it's a great learning opportunity for me to play against him.

Kobe Bryant: yes, me too, that's what grown-ups have to do in the game (it looks like Kobe Bryant is just coming of age), I'm pretty sure he did it, but so do I, so the game gets fun.

Kobe: No, not yet.

Hope it helps.

The future is yours, lad, hehe.

Jordan, the god of basketball, and the deceased Lakers celebrity Kobe Bryant are close friends, recently, Jordan mentioned Kobe Bryant again when participating in a show, and ** the last chat between the two.

One. Jordan and Bryant's last chat**.

The last time the two spoke was in the form of a text message, when Kobe Bryant took the initiative to send a message to Jordan, Kobe thanked Jordan for the tequila he gave him and sent blessings to Jordan's family, and Jordan also sent blessings to Kobe's family and jokingly called Kobe Bryant Coach. Jordan said that Bryant really enjoyed training his daughter Gigi, while Bryant said that he was playing his daughter's basketball game and had already taken a big lead.

The conversation between the two was very brief but very moving, and after 49 days of chatting, Kobe and Gigi died in a plane accident. Jordan, on the other hand, kept these text messages and always took them out whenever he missed Kobe.

Two. Kobe Bryant and Jordan's mentor and friend.

As we all know, Jordan is Kobe's idol, and since entering the league, Kobe has been imitating Jordan and trying to surpass Jordan. After a game, Jordan even went to the Lakers' locker room to visit Kobe Bryant and gave him affirmation and encouragement, which flattered Kobe, who was still a rookie at the time.

In the following time, Kobe kept dialing Jordan's ** like him to ask for basketball skills, and Jordan also taught the little brother because he saw the shadow of his youth in Kobe. The two gradually developed into confidants and friends.

Three. Jordan shed tears at the memorial service.

At Kobe's memorial service, Jordan, as a friend, was even more in tears, and Jordan was emotional throughout his speech, and even claimed that Kobe's death also made a part of his life disappear, and this picture also made countless fans cry. In the future, Jordan will be very sad every time he mentions Kobe.

It's been more than a year since Kobe's death, but many fans still remember Kobe's Mamba spirit, and the man wearing No. 24 will always be the Lakers' logo.

Because a lot of people miss Kobe Bryant so much. After this time, people missed Kobe. So Kobe Bryant inspired everyone again.

is because when the two of them are chatting, they are talking about relatively ordinary and simple content, and they also care about each other's bodies and each other's families.

Because their last chat content is to encourage each other, motivate each other, people must not accept their fate in adversity, must have the courage to fight, so that they can achieve success.

It means recognition, it can only be said that Jordan is Kobe's idol, and Jordan personally gave away the honor, which is undoubtedly the best recognition of Kobe's strength, and it is not easy to get Jordan's recognition.

Michael Jordan was Bryant's inductee for the Hall of Fame. With Jordan as the introducer, it is also a respect for Kobe, Kobe's departure makes us sad, but he will always be there.

This may be the glory that Kobe Bryant could not get during his lifetime. Jordan's signing to induct Kobe Bryant into the Hall of Fame this time is also an exchange between two people who have a special meaning to basketball.

That's a long story, it was the All-Star of the 2002-2003 season, and it was also the second season when Jordan made a comeback, and everyone knew that Jordan really wouldn't come back after retiring this time, because he was about to turn 40 years old at that time.

The starting point guards of the All-Star East are Iverson and Carter, Maddy is the starting small forward, and later Carter gave up the starting position to Jordan, which has also won praise from many fans, Jordan has a bad hand after playing, and he can't shoot, but fans like to see him shoot, and the players are also willing to make the ball for Jordan, the game was tied at the last moment, Jordan executed the last shot and missed, and the two sides entered overtime.

Before the end of overtime, Jordan once again executed the last shot, facing Marion, who was tall and arm-long, he shot a difficult backward jumper, at this time the East led 138:136, and there were seconds left in the time, and the audience began to celebrate Jordan's stunner, thinking that this MVP should be given to Jordan, but O'Neal Jr. defended Kobe Bryant outside the three-point line and fouled him, and finally Kobe Bryant made 2 of 3 free throws, and the game played overtime, and Jordan was not on the court in the second overtime, and finally Garnett led the Western players to victory, also won the MVP of this Wang Potato All-Star.

Some fans felt that Kobe Bryant's final three-point foul was a bit unconscionable and ruined Jordan's last All-Star, but it really wasn't like that. If Kobe Bryant doesn't shoot at the end, I believe Jordan will also feel that Kobe doesn't respect the game, he will definitely not want the sympathy of the opponent, but Kobe Bryant takes it seriously, so as to be worthy of Jordan's expectations of these juniors, Kobe Bryant will not do that, he has no problem at all, what do you think?

It's not like this at every home stadium. In addition, this was not the case in the early days of Kobe, and this situation mostly happened in the late part of Kobe's career, because Kobe's team no longer has the strength to compete for championships or even the playoffs, and of course Kobe's popularity is undeniable. LeBron is in his playing year, and many teams in the league, especially in the East, are rivals, and you want them to call him MVP?

Isn't that funny. You should wait until LeBron is old enough to come to this conclusion.

Because Kobe Bryant didn't understand the style at that time, he didn't give Jordan face, and he made fouls so that Jordan's team couldn't win, so the fans booed him.

Because Kobe Bryant stole the limelight in this game, under normal circumstances, he wanted Jordan to perform well at the end, but Kobe Bryant didn't understand the style.

Jordan and Kobe Bryant are rivals in this life, so Jordan's fans will boo Kobe.

The NBA All-Star Army Chief of Staff and Eastern Army Chief of Staff each selected the players who will participate in the All-Star Game on the 8th. Whenever the All-Star Game comes, many fans will be reminded of the controversial scene that Kobe Bryant created in Jordan's final game in 2003. Malone, who had a conflict with Kobe, also blamed Kobe Bryant at the end of the season:

Michael Jordan was so angry that he didn't play overtime. What the hell is going on? Jordan's All-Star curtain call, Kobe Bryant made a big controversy, Malone:

He's too red to fight.

The 40-year-old will retire in 2003. The All-Star Game in Atlanta also became Jordan's All-Star Finale. All the big screens of the All-Star Game were filled with great footage of Jordan the Flyer.

At that time, the MVP trophy was half a person tall, and it could be said that it was tailor-made for Jordan. Many people vaguely remember that Maddy, who was selected as the starting guard in the Eastern Conference, twice offered to give up the starting position to Jordan, but was rejected. But in the end, Carter gave up his starting spot to Jordan.

In this exhibition game, a lot of players have played for Jordan. In the final moments of the game, the two teams were inseparable, for example, they were even more inseparable. Seeing the game go to the second overtime, Jordan stood up at this time.

In the last half minute of the first overtime, the East and West All-Stars were tied at 136. After serving in the East, Jordan took the initiative to pass the ball to Jordan. Jordan lived up to expectations, sending the ball to the basket with the most beautiful shooting position of his career and hitting it steadily.

The East is two points higher than the West. At this time, the fans in the audience were boiling. They believe that Jordan is the god of basketball.

He can step up in the most crucial games if he wants to, even if he's almost 40 years old.

But now. Bryant, who was very competitive, stood up, and the Western Conference head coach orchestrated a play in the final three seconds. No one expected Kobe Bryant to stand up directly and ruin Jordan's last All-Star Game.

After serving in the West, the basketball was handed to Kobe, who quickly ran to the bottom corner and shot a three-pointer. However, the referee whistled for a guard foul and Bryant made three free throws. In the live broadcast at that time, the fans booed, and they all thought that Kobe Bryant was the most hated player, which also affected Jordan's All-Star curtain call.

Bryant made two free throws out of three, you see. When Kobe Bryant made free throws, Jordan's face was already hanging from outside the three-point line. Jordan might have thought to himself:

I didn't expect you kid to take Lao Tzu seriously at the exhibition competition. Perhaps due to physical function, Jordan did not play in the second overtime. Eventually, led by players like Kobe Bryant, the Western Conference defeated the All-Star team of Jordan in the East.

Because in this game, Bryant's three-point foul dragged the game into overtime and turned the tide of the game.

When Jordan was about to win, Kobe Bryant scored two high points in a row, and then Kobe won the championship himself, and then won everyone's love, so he screwed Jordan.

Kobe Bryant's desire to compete is very strong, and it was a pity that he stole the limelight at that time and let Jordan fail to win the All-Star MVP that time.

Saying that Kobe Bryant messed up Jordan's farewell game is nothing more than those three free throws at the last moment, if Kobe Bryant only scored one free throw, the East could win, and Jordan's farewell game could also draw a successful end. But is that a sign of respect for Jordan? Will Jordan, full of honor, accept to leave this way?

It's better to fight him in real life is the greatest respect for Jordan! Also, the All-Star Game of that year let us see Jordan's domineering, Garnett's genuineness, and Yao Ming's immature ......

Because Kobe Bryant stole the limelight from Jordan at that time, a vigorous Jordan farewell battle became Kobe's special. As we all know, Michael Jordan, a generation of flyers, is a god in the hearts of countless basketball fans, and even sports fans, and is also the greatest athlete in basketball history.

Jordan at his peak, almost monopolized the nineties, and almost "saw the mountains at a glance". Until now, the fans have changed, but there are still many people who talk about Jordan's various honors and repeatedly mention Jordan's many classic games.

We all know that Jordan's career has gone through a total of "two in and two out". The reason why he made a comeback the second time was not because he still maintained an otherworldly competitive state, but to save the American ball market under the influence of the 911 storm at that time. Forty-year-old Jordan has only played in the league for two years;

chose to retire again. At the All-Star Game that season, Carter voluntarily gave up his starting position to Jordan, and countless fans burst into deafening cheers when they saw that the old "basketball god" was still playing on the court. Including, NBA President Stern;

He also created an AMVP trophy specifically for Jordan in advance, just to let the superstar end his All-Star career with a bang. Many of the hot emperor superstars at that time were deliberately fulfilling Jordan on the field. There were only four seconds left in the race;

In the face of Marion's strict defense, Jordan threw a killer shot that turned the defeat into victory in the East, and in a trance, we saw the invincible and invincible basketball god again, in 1998, he threw the "Kill of the Century".

However, all this was ruined by Kobe. He seems to want to steal the limelight from Jordan and make the audience look sideways for him. After he got the ball, he hurriedly made a foul and dragged the game into overtime.

That's why he was later booed by the crowd when he stood at the free-throw line.

First, because this was Jordan's farewell game, Jordan was supposed to shoot a shot, but Kobe Bryant made a foul. Second, the American tradition is to give honor to those who are about to retire, and Kobe Bryant is not in line with the audience's psychology. Third, the audience thought Kobe Bryant stole the limelight from Jordan's last All-Star Game.

Because Jordan's team led by two points at the time, and Kobe Bryant got two free throws, if Kobe didn't make free throws, it would be the best retirement performance for Jordan.

Because Kobe's performance was so good, it completely overshadowed Jordan's limelight and turned into Kobe's exhibition game.

Once December 17, 1996 Chicago Jordan (33 years old) 30 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, Kobe Bryant (18 years old) 5 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist.

When Jordan openly talked about Kobe, James, Durant and other juniors, Jordan still obviously only gave Kobe Bryant the greatest respect. For example, when it comes to James, Jordan's statement is: "Will LeBron succeed in our time?"

Yes! But will it be as successful as it is now? No!

Speaking of Curry, Jordan squinted: "Even if I'm one-on-one with him now, I can win." Jordan's response was to throw him outside the house without saying a word, beckoning the maid to bring him a box of AJ sneakers and ordering the boys to change them on the spot.

It's only when talking about Kobe Bryant that Jordan praises it. He said it wasn't too difficult to choose between James and Kobe Bryant, because Bryant had five championship rings and James had only one (then, now two). He said he was confident that he could beat all the players in NBA history one-on-one, except for Kobe Bryant — because of the aforementioned "he stole all my footwork."

He also said that there were only four players who could succeed in his time, and Bryant was one of them.

I've always been a big fan of yours and I've loved watching you play until now. Jordan paused, then said, "I'm pretty sure you're just like me."

i’m pretty sure you're just like me. ）

Jordan's special admiration and love for Kobe Bryant stems from the "basketball god"'s cherishing of tradition, nostalgia for the old times and disdain for the new world.
